Evaluation Question 1!

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop, or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
My target audience is young adults and the genre is drama, romance and action. The story is that two sisters have broken free from a secret service and move to a new town, when they move into a new town the young one goes into hiding and the eldest goes undercover at the school where she fights to protect their secret. She then sees him and they both find out their secret so by the end of the trailer they are running at each other about to fight.

My film trailer uses many of the conventions used on an actual trailer. For example most trailers have a big bit at the end where there is a tone text about the movie, however there are also some that only have a date and media convergence for example at the end of 'The Amazing Spiderman 2' Trailer all it has is a small bit of text at the end with the date and some social media conventions and I have done that for the end of my trailer. The reason for using that is I felt that it would look better for my trailer and also that it is more commonly used on a trailer now.

It also challenges the forms of a common trailer as it was developed.  For example when the text appears on the screen it appears at different intervals so that it could go with the scene going on and this can be shown in many modern day trailers, one example would be in 'Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones'. I feel that it helped develop the forms of a common trailer as I used a little bit more text and also it gives a slight idea of what the plot line is but also draw in the viewers as they want to know what is going to happen.

Finally I think that it also challenges the forms and conventions of a real media trailer. For example I use not only a bit more text than most trailers but I have also had some more effects to it some of which are slow motions and heartbeats. Many trailers for example in older films such as'The Mask' I feel that I have challenged the way trailers are made for example in this trailer most of is a voice over of what the plot line is, however I challenge that type of form and convention by keeping the dialogue at small amounts so that it doesn't give too much which doesn't happen allot in many trailer both past and present. I want my audience not to know too much and make them wonder what is going to happen so by challenging the form and convention of dialogue I was able to put that across.
